Interesting re Harold.

"Olsenness (abbreviated to Olsen) " sounds like an American clerk trying to write down a Norwegian name that is being spoken - such as Olaf Olsen Ness. At the outset eibache posted a candidate whose mother was born at Næss (per marriage record) and see also 1875 census. 1875

I went looking for any other children by Ole Olsen and Oline Kristiansdatter and came up with this one. Einar Johan Sverre born Sept 14, 1883. Interesting to have a son named Einar.

See number 51

Unfortunately he died young.

Aslo see number 2

And in 1886 a daughter named Emma Jnesine. See number 22

Probably her on her own in 1900 Census

And another daughter Konstance Pauline in 1889, Number 39

It is difficult to find any connection to anything named Krog with this family.

The parishes or sub-parishes that the ancestors of this family inhabited were in mostly in Vega (Vægø) and Brønøe (Brønnøy) with various spellings of each. The only parish that has any farm with Krog in it is Brønnøy with the farm named Krogeness. However I have not found any family member that connects with that farm.

The main residents of this farm are the Walseth or Valseth family

Found this reference to Vigoe in a book published in 1834 call Norway. Views of Wild Scenery and Journal. Was written by an englishman touring Norway, starting on page 41 he mentions traveling to Bergen and on way passing priest gaards in Vigoe and traveling on Vigoe bay. Was wondering if anyone could figure out where he is talking about and if this means Vigoe might have been a church? i think einar mentioned an olaf born to a pastor or priest family? here's the link to the book but i found it on google. thanks, dave
